The Industry's First Fibre Channel Stackable Switch

The benefits of stackable IP switches are now available for SANs. The SANbox® 5202 stackable switch delivers the seamless scalability and performance of a chassis switch in an easy-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow solution.

Start small, then expand as your needs grow.

SANsurfer® Switch Manager open management system  designed for seamless operation with higher-level third-party management applications

In-band, out-of-band, Telnet and SNMP management access

ASIC-embedded memory - faster, more scalable and more reliable than shared memory architecture.

Breakthrough Ease of Use

The first Fibre Channel stackable switches to be configured and zoned with simple wizards. Plus, SANsurfer Management Suite  makes stack management easy throughout your SAN lifecycle by helping you install, configure, monitor, diagnose and upgrade your QLogic HBAs and switches  all from ONE application.

Incredibly Low Cost

Starting at 8 ports, SANbox 5202 stackable switches offer an easy entry point affordable to the smallest business. And with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), you won't have to hire a SAN expert to manage your stack.

Modular Scalability

Of course you can add, change or delete switches without disrupting your storage network.

Blazing 10 Gb Performance

The first SAN product to support traffic between switches, servers and storage at up to 10Gb per second, six times faster than 2Gb networks being deployed today. A single, 10Gb inter-switch link (ISL) ensures low latency between switches and eliminates the cost and complexity of trunking up to six 2 Gb ports.
